2.2 Safety warnings for bench-mounted

circular saws

1) Guarding related warnings

–Keep guards in place. Guards must be in

working order and be properly mounted. A

guard that is loose, damaged, or is not

functioning correctly must be repaired or

replaced.

–Always use saw blade guard, riving knife

and anti-kickback device for every

through–cutting operation. For through-

cutting operations where the saw blade

cuts completely through the thickness of

the workpiece, the guard and other safety

devices help reduce the risk of injury.

–Immediately reattach the guarding system

after completing an operation (such as

rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts)

which requires removal of the guard, riv

ing knife and/or anti-kickback device. The

guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback de

vice help to reduce the risk of injury.

–Make sure the saw blade is not contacting

the guard, riving knife or the workpiece

before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent

contact of these items with the saw blade

could cause a hazardous condition.

–Adjust the riving knife as described in this

instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, po

sitioning and alignment can make the riving

knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood

of kickback.

–For the riving knife and anti-kickback de

vice to work, they must be engaged in the

workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kick

back device are ineffective when cutting

workpieces that are too short to be engag

ed with the riving knife and anti-kickback

device. Under these conditions a kickback

cannot be prevented by the riving knife and

anti-kickback device.

–Use the appropriate saw blade for the riv

ing knife. For the riving knife to function

properly, the saw blade diameter must

match the appropriate riving knife and the

body of the saw blade must be thinner than

the thickness of the riving knife and the

cutting width of the saw blade must be wid

er than the thickness of the riving knife.

2) Cutting procedures warnings

– DANGER: Never place your fingers

or hands in the vicinity or in line with the

saw blade. A moment of inattention or a

slip could direct your hand towards the saw

blade and result in serious personal injury.

–Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or

cutter only against the direction of rota

tion. Feeding the workpiece in the same di

rection that the saw blade is rotating above

the table may result in the workpiece, and

your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.

–Never use the mitre gauge to feed the

workpiece when ripping and do not use

the rip fence as a length stop when cross

cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the

workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre

gauge at the same time increases the like

lihood of saw blade binding and kickback.

–When ripping, always apply the workpiece

feeding force between the fence and the

saw blade. Use a push stick when the dis

tance between the fence and the saw

blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push

block when this distance is less than 50

mm. “Work helping” devices will keep your

hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.

–Use only the push stick provided by the

manufacturer or constructed in accord

ance with the instructions. This push stick

provides sufficient distance of the hand

from the saw blade.

–Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A

damaged push stick may break causing

your hand to slip into the saw blade.

–Do not perform any operation “freehand”.

Always use either the rip fence or the mi

tre gauge to position and guide the work

piece. “Freehand” means using your hands

to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of

a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand saw

ing leads to misalignment, binding and

kickback.

–Never reach around or over a rotating saw

blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead

to accidental contact with the moving saw

blade.

–Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the

rear and/or sides of the saw table for long

and/or wide workpieces to keep them lev

el. A long and/or wide workpiece has a ten

dency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing

loss of control, saw blade binding and kick

back.

–Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not

bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming

occurs, turn the tool off immediately, un
